This is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news! I thought each of you could use a little comic relief today. Here's the story. A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built. Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance. Mark and his new neighbor had some great arguments about this as you can imagine â not great feelings. The new neighbor had to drop the roof line â no doubt at great expense. Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that his new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate. When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they found ... (see attached pictures).

That's pretty funny... When I was a senior in high school, I hid a message in a poem I wrote in the year book... It was a rather snide comment to all of the faculty whom I didn't like... Once published, I showed it to a friend - who subsequently showed it to a friend who showed it to a friend and so on... The next day, my teacher told me I needed to go to the principal's office... Upon arrival, I was greeted by the principal, the dean, the school psychologist and some other important person... They were not happy. I was banned from graduation and was not going to receive an award I was slated to receive at graduation for all my work on the year book...
There's a building at NAS North Island in Coronado, CA in the shape of a swastika from above. There's also a building on Virginia's campus that spells out VT from above (Virginia Tech).
Wow. Poor you. I can't fathom why a school administration would be upset over a world-weary and all-wise 18 year old insulting them. You should sue. Seriously.
Whoa, slow down there fruit loop... Did I convey any woe...? I was just telling a story related to the thread... ...and I wasn't 18 when I graduated; I was 19, so HA...!
The poem was just a thank-you to all the people who helped me throughout the time I was there... The message, hidden as the first letter of each sentence, spelled out "f_ck the rest of you"...
Either you are proud of acting like a punk, or crying about the punishment. Or your personality is so advanced that mere mortal like me are unable to think on the same level as you.
wow this is great! dude lay off, carbon didnt do anything at all. he never reffered to you as a lesser "mortal"
The latter seems pretty accurate to me... I was just relaying a story from years ago... You should consider a sedative or decaf or something that might reverse your rectal-cranial inversion... Try and have a nice weekend.
Sorry, but 25,000 posts does not make you immune to criticism, even if your peanut gallery backs you up.
Are you on NNO's payroll, or are you just hypnotized by his vast knowledge of black Enzos? Just curious.
Take a chill pill TopCloser! NNO was just sharing a funny story, he didn't sound upset about it, and he didn't sound like he was bragging either. NNO at least people didn't see a message that wasn't there. On my old website I had a list of my friends with caricatures I drew of them and funny descriptions. Apparently one of the kids on there didn't see me as his friend, and his girlfriend saw the list and thought it was a hit list (it even said "Friends Descriptions" as the title of the page). They tried to get me arrested and expelled (pretty stupid move, considering that the guy was a known drug dealer and we could have easily gotten him expelled in retaliation). My website got about 500 hits per day around then, everybody in the school was talking about it, so in response I kept the page up but added a cruel little "introduction" in the beginning. The principal called me to her office, said that I wasn't in trouble because it clearly wasn't a hit list and she wasn't sure how anybody could interpret it as one, but she asked me to take the intro down because it was just mean. My religion teacher told me that off the record, he thought it was hilarious. Also one time I was walking to my locker to get my math book and saw the girl standing in the hallway, later I found out she had cried afterwards because she thought I was stalking her. Me, of all people! It was legendary.
